Local government plays a critical role in helping communities recover after an emergency. Moira Shire was impacted by the 2022 Flood Event and has now moved into recovery stage.

Emergencies such as floods can bring people together and lead to a great sense of community spirit, however, can also be a traumatic experience for those impacted. 

We are here to support the whole community throughout the recovery, to connect our residents with the services they need and assist them in understanding and accessing all the resources available to them.

Council already has a range of support and resources you can access, however, we would like to hear from our flood impacted residents to help us better understand the needs of the community as we recover from the 2022 Flood Event and prepare for any future events.

2022 Flood Event Recovery Survey - closing 31 July 2023

Council are undertaking a community survey around the October 2022 Flood Event. This survey is targeted at Moira Shire residents who were impacted by this event. The results of the survey will help Council to understand how prepared the community is for flood events, what are we doing well currently, what results are we getting, where are we seeing success and what we can do better. 

These results will be used to guide future disaster recovery planning,  analyse current flood and disaster recovery methods, establish baseline metrics and assess competency of utilised practices.   A further survey will be conducted in 2024. 

The results of this survey will be shared on our website after the closing date.

If you are aged over 65 years, please consider also completing our Disaster Recovery Older Residents Survey available on this page.
